Mollie has been providing this service under the Plink [1] brand name for quite a while, I was looking for something to get my clients onboard with Stripe without using Billing (main reason being Mollie having difficulty serving corporate US cards from time to time). Nice move, simple product, extremely useful!

- the-dude 5y agoThere are other niche PSPs who have been doing exactly this for over a decade.
- vincentkriek 5y agoFor context, in the Netherlands (where Mollie was founded) sending payment requests by text took off when one bank set up a service geared for consumers that provided this (Tikkie [1]). Mobile payments were common place before this, so customers were already used to this. Taking this to the next level, by having businesses use this is a great and logical step.

- grenoire 5y agoImplemented a small app this, such a clean API. Love it and hope it goes pan-European. Although I think it may be the Dutch money culture that got it to blow up so bi, ha!
- vincentkriek 5y agoI'm curious, what is the "Dutch money culture"? I haven't used paper money in ages, is that specifically Dutch or are you hinting at something else?
